Sport Updates

Congratulations to our students that were competing during Summer Tournament week. You all represented GHS with pride and displayed great sportsmanship.

As the end of term approaches summer sports are drawing to a close and we are getting ready for winter sports codes. We encourage you to get your child involved in a sport as there is plenty on offer from the more traditional codes such as netball through to badminton.

If you want to know more about sports at Geraldine High School check out our Facebook page, Geraldine High School Sportwhere we post results, notices and photos.

Fees and Uniforms

Just a gentle reminder that fees for sporting events need to be paid and uniforms need to be returned asap.

WE NEED ALL UNIFORMS BACK AT THE END OF TERM  AS WE ARE MOVING TO A BARCODE SYSTEM FOR ISSUING THEM AND THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE HOLIDAYS.

We have eight students heading to Nelson for SISS athletics this year. They are Billy Nelson, Ethan Hole, Ethan Hall, Blake Patterson, Connor Stewart, Harry Edge, Justina Courage and Charlotte Walker. We wish them good luck.

Basketball

Senior Basketball trials have been held and we are in need of coaches for some of our teams. If you are keen to help out please contact sports@geraldinehs.school.nz.
